✦ Synopsis
The effect of phage T4 gene 43 (DNA polymerase) mutations on recombination between adjacent base pairs was measured in rII amber and opal mutants. The mutator allele tsL56 did not promote recombination frequencies at the two sites in which its effect was studied. The antimutator allele tsCB87 caused slight or no reduction in recombination frequencies at five sites.

## Abstract The temperature‐sensitive DNA polymerase mutator mutants A58 and L98 of T4 are less inhibited by 3′‐Fluorothymidine than the T4 wild type and the antimutator mutant CB121, in consequence of the assumed differences between the polymerase‐associated exonuclease activities. This interpreta
## Abstract The deoxythymidine5′‐triphosphate (dTTP) analog 3′‐fluorothymidine 5′‐triphosphate (3′‐FdTTP) inhibits DNA synthesis by T4 wild‐type, L98 (mutator) and CB121 (antimutator) DNA polymerase. CB121 DNA polymerase is less sensitive by a factor of two than the L98 and T4^+^ enzymes. Inhibitio
## Abstract Adriamycin, daunomycin and ethidium, intercalating drugs which bind to double‐ as well as single‐stranded DNA, inhibit phage T4 antimutator mutant CB121 DNA polymerase more strongly than the T4 wild‐type and the mutator L98 polymerase. In contrast, all three enzymes are inhibited equall
Incorporation of TdR is aberrant in cells plasmolysed 15 min after infection by the recombination defective t4 chi and omega mutants. The in situ results parallel those obtained in vivo: at high TdR concentrations both T4 chi and T4 omega induced incorporation is slightly reduced compared to wild ty
